As you begin to explore and make plans for our cruise. Don’t forget the time difference
that will occur as you travel over the Pacific Ocean to Bangkok, Thailand.
Yes, as you are flying from the United States to Asia you will be crossing an imaginary line known as the “The International Dateline”. This is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth that basically runs from the north pole through the south pole and is what divides TODAY and TOMORROW. As an example, if you depart Los Angeles on Monday, April 16th and fly over the International Dateline during your flight travels which is approximately 180 degrees longitude but also zigzags through some territories and island groups around Samoa, you will have officially passed into TOMORROW, which would be Tuesday, April 17th.
Keep this in mind as you really don’t want to miss the cruise Embarkation Date of April 17th which is our April 16th! Did you get that? For further information on International Dateline check out the link for timeanddate.com or Wikipedia
